Well the end goal of this should be a central warehouse(maybe run FBA style, maybe even hired on demand,inc. fullfilment from someone ) , and instead of ordering being on-demand, set up time windows, each at a certain area, enabling optimized routes(and on top of that network do on-demand orders).
That should reduce costs to minimum and build a somewhat defensible business(unless Amazon attacks).
And having a lot of customers will be helpful in achieving those goals, so what we're seeing is just step 1.
- alaskamiller 10y agoNo, the end goal is a box with wheels or a drone. What you described is called a store. Also, US is behind the curve. In China the practice is called O2O--online to offline. Buy anything you want and the closest inventoried item near you gets to you.
- maxander 10y agoWait, so this is what those silly amazon "Prime Air" delivery drones were really about. It makes sense now! I wonder whats holding up the final reveal of the flying booze\weed delivery shop.
